[QUOTE="Mark.H, post: 1029270, member: 18145"] The 2019 will be a Gen 2 (possibly small refresh), same truck, bigger engine. Like I say, according to my source (who has never been wrong yet about La Ferrari Spyders, Ford GT specs and all sorts of other stuff) says Ford Performance have currently slated the Raptor to share the GT500 engine and they're aiming for 750bhp output. I'm a Gen 1 owner now and my main gripe with the V6 is the lack of noise over the 6.2 and the 10 speed gearbox, otherwise I like the updated looks, like the cabin and don't mind the switch to Aluminium. There is no way I'd be prepared to spend what I think will be another 15-25k on a "Super Raptor" and I think that such a large power/price difference will mean that they sell in small numbers and the V6 residuals wont suffer too much by the announcement of the V8 around the end of 2017. For me a V8 Raptor packing 750bhp should also have a roll cage and long travel suspension kit because the speed it would be capable of picking up would mean you're just going to blow through the travel so much harder and faster and you're going to easily break/bend stuff.
